--- |
|---|
| 19:1 | | Kaf-Ha-Ya-A’in-Sad. (* Alphabets of the Arabic language - Allah and to whomever He reveals know their precise meanings. |
| 19:2 | | This is the remembrance of the mercy of your Lord upon His bondman Zakaria |
| 19:3 | | When he softly prayed to his Lord |
| 19:4 | | He submitted, "O my Lord - my bones have become weak and old age shines forth from my head, and O my Lord, I have never been disappointed in my prayer to you." |
| 19:5 | | "And I fear my relatives after me and my wife is barren therefore bestow upon me from Yourself one who will take up my work." |
| 19:6 | | "He being my successor and the heir of the Descendants of Yaqub (Jacob); and my Lord, make him a cherished * one." (* Make him a Prophet among the Descendants of Israel. |
| 19:7 | | "O Zakaria! We give you the glad tidings of a son whose name is Yahya (John) - before him, We have not created anyone of this name." |
| 19:8 | | He submitted, "My Lord - how can I have a son whereas my wife is barren and I have reached infirmity due to old age?" |
| 19:9 | | He (the angel) said, "So it is; your Lord says, ‘This is easy for Me - in fact I created you before this, at a time when you did not exist.’ " |
| 19:10 | | He said, "My Lord, give me a sign"; He said, "Your token is that you will not speak to people for three nights, although in proper health." |
| 19:11 | | He therefore emerged upon his people from the mosque, and told them through gestures, "Keep proclaiming the Purity (of your Lord) morning and evening." |
| 19:12 | | "O Yahya - hold the Book firmly"; and We gave him Prophethood in his infancy. (Prophet Yahya was only 2 years old at that time. |
| 19:13 | | And compassion from Ourselves, and chastity; and he was extremely pious |
| 19:14 | | And was good to his parents and not forceful, nor disobedient |
| 19:15 | | And peace is upon him the day he was born, and the day he will taste death, and the day he will be raised alive |
| 19:16 | | And remember Maryam in the Book; when she went away from her family to a place towards east |
| 19:17 | | So there she screened herself from them; We therefore sent Our Spirit towards her - he appeared before her in the form of a healthy man. (Angel Jibreel – peace be upon him. |
| 19:18 | | She said, "I seek the refuge of the Most Gracious from you - if you fear God." |
| 19:19 | | He said, "I am indeed one sent by your Lord; so that I may give you a chaste son." |
| 19:20 | | She said, "How can I bear a son? No man has ever touched me, nor am I of poor conduct!" |
| 19:21 | | He said, "So it is; your Lord has said, ‘This is easy for Me’; and in order that We make him a sign for mankind and a Mercy from Us; and this matter has been decreed." |
| 19:22 | | So she conceived him, and she went away with him to a far place |
| 19:23 | | Then the pangs of childbirth brought her to the base of the palm-tree; she said, "Oh, if only had I died before this and had become forgotten, unremembered." |
| 19:24 | | (The angel) Therefore he called her from below her, “Do not grieve - your Lord has made a river flow below you.&rdquo |
| 19:25 | | "And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you - ripe fresh dates will fall upon you." (This was a miracle - the date palm was dry and it was winter season. |
| 19:26 | | "Therefore eat and drink and appease your eyes; so if you meet any person then say, ‘I have pledged a fast (of silence) to the Most Gracious - I will therefore not speak to any person today.’ " |
| 19:27 | | So carrying him in her arms, she brought him to her people; they said, "O Maryam, you have indeed committed a great evil!" |
| 19:28 | | "O sister of Haroon, neither was your father an evil man nor was your mother of poor conduct!" |
| 19:29 | | Thereupon she pointed towards the child; they said, "How can we speak to an infant who is in the cradle?" |
| 19:30 | | The child proclaimed, "I am Allah’s bondman; He has given me the Book and made me a Herald of the Hidden (a Prophet)." |
| 19:31 | | "And He has made me blessed wherever I be; and ordained upon me prayer and charity, as long as I live." |
| 19:32 | | "And has made me good to my mother and not made me forceful, ill-fated." |
| 19:33 | | "And peace is upon me the day I was born, and on the day I shall taste death, and on the day I will be raised alive." |
| 19:34 | | This is Eisa (Jesus), the son of Maryam; a true statement, in which they doubt |
| 19:35 | | It does not befit Allah to appoint someone as His son - Purity is to Him! When He ordains a matter, He just commands it, "Be" - and it thereupon happens |
| 19:36 | | And said Eisa, "Indeed Allah is my Lord and your Lord - therefore worship Him; this is the Straight Path." |
| 19:37 | | Then groups among them differed; so ruin is for the disbelievers from the witnessing of a Great Day |
| 19:38 | | Much will they listen and much will they see, on the Day when they come to Us, but today the unjust are in open error |
| 19:39 | | And warn them of the Day of Regret when the matter will have been decided; and they are in neglect, and they do not accept faith |
| 19:40 | | Indeed We shall inherit the earth and all that is on it, and only towards Us will they return |
| 19:41 | | And remember Ibrahim in the Book; he was very truthful, a Herald of the Hidden (a Prophet) |
| 19:42 | | When he said to his father, * "O my father - why do you worship one which neither hears nor sees, and cannot benefit you in any way?" (* His uncle Azar. |
| 19:43 | | "O my father, indeed a knowledge has come to me which did not come to you - therefore follow me, I will show you the Straight Path." |
| 19:44 | | "O my father, do not be a bondman of the devil; indeed the devil is disobedient towards the Most Gracious." |
| 19:45 | | "O my father, I fear that a punishment from the Most Gracious may reach you, so you would become a companion of the devil." |
| 19:46 | | He said, "What! You turn away from my gods, O Ibrahim? If you do not desist, I will certainly stone you, and keep no relation with me for a long while." |
| 19:47 | | He said, “Stop it - peace be upon you; I shall seek forgiveness for you from my Lord; indeed He is very kind to me.&rdquo |
| 19:48 | | "And I shall remain separated from you and all that you worship other than Allah and shall worship my Lord; possibly, by worshipping my Lord, I will not be amongst the unfortunate.&rdquo |
| 19:49 | | So when he had separated from them and what they worshipped other than Allah, We bestowed him Ishaq and Yaqub; and We made each of them a Herald of the Hidden |
| 19:50 | | And We gave them Our mercy, and assigned for them a true and high repute |
| 19:51 | | And remember Moosa in the Book; he was indeed a chosen one, and he was a Noble Messenger, a Herald of the Hidden |
| 19:52 | | We called him from the right side of the mountain Tur, and brought him close to reveal Our secret |
| 19:53 | | And with Our mercy We bestowed upon him his brother Haroon, a Prophet |
| 19:54 | | And remember Ismail in the Book; he was indeed true to his promise and was a Noble Messenger, a Prophet |
| 19:55 | | He used to command his people to offer prayer and give charity, and was liked by his Lord |
| 19:56 | | And remember Idrees in the Book; he was indeed very truthful, a Prophet |
| 19:57 | | And We lifted him to a high position. (Living with soul & body in heaven, after his death. |
| 19:58 | | It is these upon whom Allah has bestowed favour among the Prophets, from the descendants of Adam; and from those whom We boarded along with Nooh; and from the descendants of Ibrahim and Israel; and from those whom We guided and chose; when the verses of the Most Gracious were recited to them, they fell down, prostrating and weeping. (* Command of Prostration # 5. |
| 19:59 | | And after them came the unworthy successors who squandered prayer and pursued their own desires, so they will soon encounter the forest of Gai in hell |
| 19:60 | | Except those who repented and accepted faith and did good deeds - so these will enter heaven, and they will not be deprived * in the least. (* Of their due reward. |
| 19:61 | | Everlasting Gardens of Eden, which the Most Gracious has promised to His bondmen in the unseen; indeed His promise will come |
| 19:62 | | They will not hear any lewd talk in it, but only Peace; and in it for them is sustenance, every morning and evening |
| 19:63 | | It is the Paradise that We will bequeath to those among Our bondmen who remain pious |
| 19:64 | | (Said Angel Jibreel to Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon them) "And we angels do not come down except by the command of your Lord; to Him only belongs all that is ahead of us and all that is behind us and all that is between them; and your Lord is not forgetful." |
| 19:65 | | Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them - therefore worship Him and be firm in His worship; do you know any other of the same name as His |
| 19:66 | | And says man, "When I am dead, will I soon be brought forth alive?" |
| 19:67 | | Does not man remember that We created him before this, and he was non existent |
| 19:68 | | So by your Lord, We shall assemble them and the devils - all of them - and bring them around hell, fallen on their knees |
| 19:69 | | We shall then pick out from every group the one who was most arrogant towards the Most Gracious |
| 19:70 | | Moreover, We well know those who most deserve to be burned in hell |
| 19:71 | | And there is none among you who shall not pass over hell; this is an obligatory affair, binding upon your Lord. (Allah will make everyone pass over the back of hell - on a thin bridge. |
| 19:72 | | We shall then rescue the pious - and leave the unjust in it, fallen on their knees |
| 19:73 | | And when Our clear verses are recited to them, the disbelievers say to the Muslims, "Which group has a better home, and a better alliance?" |
| 19:74 | | And many a generation We did destroy before them, who exceeded them in wealth and pomp |
| 19:75 | | Proclaim, "For one in error - so the Most Gracious may give him respite; to the extent that when they see the thing which they are promised - either the punishment or the Last Day; so then they will come to know for whom is the evil rank and whose army is weak." |
| 19:76 | | And Allah will increase the guidance for those who have received guidance; and good deeds that remain have the best reward before your Lord, and the best outcome |
| 19:77 | | So have you seen him who denied Our signs and says, "I shall certainly be given wealth and children?" |
| 19:78 | | Has he seen the Hidden, or has he made a pact with the Most Gracious |
| 19:79 | | Never; We shall now record what he says and give him a prolonged punishment |
| 19:80 | | And it is We only Who shall inherit what he says (belongs to him), and he will come to Us, alone |
| 19:81 | | And they have chosen gods besides Allah, so that they may provide them strength |
| 19:82 | | Never; soon they will deny ever worshipping them, and will turn into their opponents |
| 19:83 | | Did you not see that We sent devils upon the disbelievers, so they excite them abundantly |
| 19:84 | | So do not be impatient for them (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him); We are only completing their number. * (* The number of days left for them or their evil deeds. |
| 19:85 | | On the day when We shall assemble the righteous towards the Most Gracious, as guests |
| 19:86 | | And drive the guilty towards hell, thirsty |
| 19:87 | | People do not own the right to intercede, except those * who have made a covenant with the Most Gracious. (* The Holy Prophets and virtuous people will be given the permission to intercede. Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him - will be the first to intercede. |
| 19:88 | | And the disbelievers said, "The Most Gracious has chosen an offspring." |
| 19:89 | | You have indeed brought an extremely grave speech |
| 19:90 | | The heavens are close to being torn apart by it, and the earth being split asunder, and the mountains succumbing and falling down |
| 19:91 | | Due to their ascribing of an offspring to the Most Gracious |
| 19:92 | | And it does not befit the Most Gracious to choose an offspring |
| 19:93 | | All those who are in the heavens and the earth will come to the Most Gracious as His bondmen |
| 19:94 | | He knows their number and has counted each one of them |
| 19:95 | | And each one of them will come before Him on the Day of Resurrection, alone |
| 19:96 | | Indeed those who believed and did good deeds - the Most Gracious will appoint love for them. (In the hearts of other believers. |
| 19:97 | | We have therefore made this Qur’an easy upon your tongue, (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) for you to announce glad tidings with it to those who fear, and warn those who are quarrelsome |
| 19:98 | | And many a generation We did destroy before them; do you see any one of them or hear their faintest sound |
